Supervisor
Today, the food was cooked in an iron pot, and Jian Qingqing enjoyed it very much.
She had not eaten any stir-fried food since she ca here. She could not stir-fry anything with a clay pot, so she could only boil them.
She had used an iron pot to stir-fry all of today’s food. Even the wild vegetables that she despised beca delicious.
The rice was also cooked in the iron pot. There was still rice in the bottom of the pot, and she sprinkled so salt on it. Jian Qingqing enjoyed it very much.
She was no longer going to the restaurant to sell at, she did not plan to sell mushrooms anymore. She told this to Manager Lin and gave the mushroom business to Jian Rong. There was still more than a month before the rainy season ended. If it stopped raining, the mushroom would not grow again.
Later, she learned that Jian Rong had asked the children in the village to pick mushrooms together. Moreover, he supplied all the mushrooms to the restaurants in the county. She was surprised for a while. It seed that Jian Rong was very business-minded and much better than her.
Xiao Hu also stopped picking mushrooms and wild vegetables. She needed so help.
On the third day, Jian Qingqing went to the county town to look for Ma Jiacai. He and the other workers were already waiting.
Jian Qingqing looked at them carefully. They were all honest-looking and tall. She nodded in satisfaction. When she saw that the last person standing was a woman, she asked Ma Jiacai in surprise, “Why did you hire an aunt?”
Ma Jiacai quickly explained, “Her na is Aunt Liang. Her husband used to be the supervisor of the construction team, and he was in charge of overseeing the foundation of the houses. Aunt Liang learned a few things, so I thought that you might not rember hiring a supervisor. So, I took the initiative to hire her. Moreover, her strength is also quite good. She won’t delay the construction of the house.”
This was the main reason. In fact, there was a little selfishness in it. He used to be a mber of Aunt Liang’s husband’s construction team. Supervisor Liang was very good to them. Now that Brother Liang was gone, he just wanted to take care of Sister Liang as much as he could.
Jian Qingqing understood. So it was like that. She did not know that she needed to find a supervisor to build a house. Her family did not know how to build houses either, having mostly seen thatched cottages and mud-brick houses. For those houses, all they needed were a few villagers to build for a few days. Who would know how to build proper brick houses?
Seeing that Jian Qingqing did not speak, Aunt Liang thought that she was dissatisfied and did not want her. She quickly knelt down and said with a choked voice, “Yes, My Lady. I learned so skills from my husband. I can do anything. Please accept !”
She really needed this job. She still had a daughter to support.
Jian Qingqing quickly helped her up. “Since Aunt Liang has such skills, then I’ll have to trouble you.”
“Thank you, My Lady! Thank you, My Lady!” Aunt Liang was so happy that she cried. This ti, she could afford to buy so delicious food for her daughter.
“Alright, stop calling Miss. Call Miss Qingqing.” The title of ‘My Lady’ was really awkward every ti she heard it. Such a title should only be used on a lady who had so status. Her family’s ancestors were all farrs for 18 generations. They could not afford to call her that.
Aunt Liang wiped her tears. “Yes, Miss Qingqing.”
“Oh right, your wages are 40 wen per day. Lunch and dinner are included. Is there a problem?”
“No problem, no problem!” The workers shook their heads one after another.
30 to 40 wen was the price before the disaster. They did not even include als. After the disaster, there were people fighting to do the work just for so steam buns every day. Not only did Miss Qingqing give them food, but she also gave them money. She was really a good person, they would definitely work for her seriously!
This was what every worker thought in their hearts.
“Okay, then I’ll take you to the brick factory.”
